| 1 lb (450 g) ground chuck or sirloin | salt and freshly ground black pepper | |
| 1/2 onion, minced | olive oil | |
| 1 large egg yolk | 4 sesame seed buns, cut in half and lightly toasted |
Combine the ground beef, onion, and egg yolk in a mixing bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper, and mix well with wet hands.
Shape into 4 burgers about 4in (10cm) in diameter.
Position a broiler rack about 6in (15cm) from the source of heat. Preheat the broiler and lightly oil the broiler pan. Add the burgers and broil for 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer.
Serve burgers warm in toasted sesame seed buns.
